17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (Aug 20)

14. Dominik’s Hint Of Selfishness

Rey Mysterio noted how Dominik got distracted last week and almost cost them a match with Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. Firing back, the cheeky Dom said, "But I didn't. I won...we won". Yep, he's started getting even more arrogant about dad.

This hint of selfishness was brushed off by Rey, but it's one to remember if/when Dominik eventually turns on his father and goes heel. He's dropping hints all over the place here.

13. “Head Of The Toilet”

Behold a wonderful sign.

There was a dude holding a "Head Of The Toilet" one - he surprisingly didn't hold this aloft all night, and it was actually only spotted once or twice. The message (along with those floating heads for Roman Reigns and The Usos) was best viewed during Jey Uso's entrance.

Rey Mysterio looked right at it at one point. He kept a straight face though. What a pro.

12. It Happened Again!

Hmm.

WWE point blank refused to use the name Flair when mentioning Charlotte. This has become a recurring theme; SmackDown's crawler advertised a SummerSlam signing with The Miz, Drew McIntyre and Charlotte (who definitely only has a forename).

Someone needs to get to the bottom of this. Charlotte Flair is far too established to suddenly drop her famous surname just because daddy dearest might be heading elsewhere.
